Tajani’s cabinet

They are Mattia Pellegrini, who previously worked as an official in the Commission’s directorate-general for health and consumers, Arianna Vannini, who previously dealt with media antitrust cases in the Commission’s department and before that was in the cabinet of Mario Monti, and Massimo Baldinato, a lawyer, who has been representing AFI, the Italian association of phonographic producers, in Brussels. The head of cabinet is to be Antonio Preto, recruited from the private office of European Parliament President Hans-Gert Pöttering.

The Parliament will hold hearings on 16 June with Tajani, who is to take the transport dossier, and Jacques Barrot, who is switching from transport to justice, freedom and security.
